Question Post Rating Meanings?

[WildSpider]

Is it possible to get a list of the post ratings and what the meaning of each is? I myself am interested in:

• cake,
• coffee,
• lollipop,
• popcorn,
• optimistic,
• award,
• winner,
• beer,
• cookie,
• popcorn

Thank you for your time!

The meanings aren't defined, they are whatever you want them to be.

Ah, ok, thanks. So, I guess popcorn will be bad because the movie theater ran out of butter.

I use popcorn when something is posted that could potentially lead to a heated exchange or a controversial subject....like, grab the popcorn, this is about to get interesting.

For example

And I use the Beer as in, "Cheers to that"

Although, that's probably my Irish side speaking...

How I use them (or see them used):

• optimistic: a sign of hope (usually in response to concerns about a pet's health)
• award: a particularly useful post
• winner: you won the thread (amusing or conclusive post)
• coffee: Sober up! (I give these to @Chris LXXIX when he veers into bizarre tangents.) Alternatively, you are posting in a way that suggests you are too drowsy to think clearly.
• cake: The cake is a lie.
• beer: congratulations/cheers (clink)
• cookie: patronizing or mocking
• popcorn: a provocative post that will likely result in a heated exchange (get your popcorn, because the show's about to start); generally used when the rater intends to watch from the sidelines rather than weigh in
• lollipop: patronizing or mocking (more negative than cookie)

cake: The cake is a lie.

This was a triumph.

I'm making a note here:
"Huge success."

cake: The cake is a lie.

Wheatley:
"Most test subjects do experience some, uh, cognitive deterioration after a few months in suspension. Now, you've been under for … quite a bit longer, and it's not out of the question that you might have a very minor case of serious brain damage. But don't be alarmed, all right? Although, if you do feel alarm, try to hold onto that feeling, because that is the proper reaction to being told you have brain damage."

lollipop: patronizing or mocking (more negative than cookie)

I was never really sure what it meant. I used it differently.
Edit: By differently, mean not far from opposite.

Since when was the lollipop rating considered negative, its more neutral IMO...like alright fair heres your lolly.

• lollipop: patronizing or mocking (more negative than cookie)

Sounds more like the "Meh" rating to me. When did cookie become negative as well lol?

 

[WildSpider]

Since when was the lollipop rating considered negative, its more neutral IMO...like alright fair heres your lolly.

I got one and figured it was: "That was cute...here, have a lollipop"

 

[Nightstalker47]

I got one and I pictured it as "That was cute...here, have a lollipop"

Yeah, pretty sure I gave you that one on my loss of power mid-rehouse thread.

Glad it wasn't received as "patronizing or mocking" lol, cause it wasn't meant to be.

Haha, it was a pretty silly post so I wouldn't have minded if it was. Thanks for clarifying though.

I never thought any of the food ratings were negative.
